Tubular Knits & Tripolino

Knitted Tubes

This group of knitted tubes are either manmade materials such as the Abigail tubes, or real metal such as the two Italian Tubolare. We often come across interesting materials that offer interesting creative opportunities for fiber artist: as surface texture, accent elements, blend elements. Some of these items — the metal tubulars can be used in jewelry on their own. Most of these items are also great integrated in kumihimo and bobbin lace.
